the Stimulus Editor

The Stimulus Editor is fully integrated with Schematics and can

be run from either the schematic editor or symbol editor.

You can start the Stimulus Editor by the following methods:

• Double-click a stimulus instance

• Select one or more stimulus instances in the schematic and

select Stimulus from the Edit menu.

• Select Edit Stimulus from the Analysis menu.

When you first start the Stimulus Editor, you may need to adjust

the scale settings to fit the trace you are going to add. You can

use Axis Settings on the Plot menu or the corresponding toolbar

button to change the displayed data, the extent of the scrolling

region, and the minimum resolution for each of the axes.

Displayed Data Range parameters determine what portion of the

stimulus data set will be presented on the screen. Extent of

Scrolling Region parameters set the absolute limits on the

viewable range. Minimum Resolution parameters determine the

smallest usable increment (example: if it is set to 1 msec, then

you cannot add a data point at 1.5 msec).
